The stories in We Grew Here comprise a vibrant mosaic of Oakland, all grounded through the lens of the Greek immigrant community. Apollo Papafrangou is an energetic and observant writer who creates passionate characters out here working and hustling their art. This is a love letter to The Town, its people, its history, heart, and humor.
